The law has never been implemented as originally enacted;annual and locality payments pursuant to the statute have been reduced each year.Federal white-collar employees received a 1.7% annual pay adjustment and a 0.5%locality-based comparability payment in January 2007. President George W. Bushauthorized the average 2.2% pay adjustment in Executive Order 13420, issued onDecember 21, 2006.
